Steven Soderbergh is back making heist movies, but the setting has switched from the Las Vegas strip featured in his Ocean’s franchise to a speedway in North Carolina. Logan Lucky stars an ensemble cast featuring Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Seth MacFarlane, Riley Keough, Katie Holmes, Katherine Waterston, Dwight Yoakam, Sebastian Stan, Brian Gleeson, Jack Quaid, Hilary Swank, and Daniel Craig.

In this turbocharged heist comedy from Academy Award®-winning director Steven Soderbergh, West Virginia family man Jimmy Logan (Tatum) leads his one-armed brother Clyde (Driver) and hairdresser sister Mellie (Keough) in an elaborate scheme to rob North Carolina’s Charlotte Motor Speedway. To help them break into the track’s underground cash-handling system, Jimmy recruits volatile demolition expert Joe Bang (Craig). Further complicating the already risky plan, a scheduling mix-up forces the thieves to execute the job during the Coca-Cola 600, the track’s most popular NASCAR event of the year. As they attempt to pull off the ambitious robbery, the down-on-their-luck Logans face a final hurdle when a relentless FBI agent (Swank) begins investigating the case.

“It’s kind of a cousin to an Ocean’s film,” explains Soderbergh, “but it’s also an inversion of those movies because these characters have no money and no technology. They live in very pressured economic circumstances, so a couple of garbage bags full of cash can turn their lives around.”

Logan Lucky is rated PG.
